Tugs at the heartstrings seeing the stinger from Big Cat 🐅

That low, piercing flight with the club twirl to match… pure Tiger.

Some shots just bring back memories. 🥹⛳️

🎥 Throwback to 2017…

Nearly 10 years ago working on some short-game technique.

Back then, I watched a TONNE of Stan Utley videos and based a lot of my short-game style around his ideas.

Looking back, there are still things here that I really like:

⛳ The Palm to Palm grip I was using
⛳ The grip working around the belt buckle
⛳ The pivot action controlling the motion

There are also things I taught and believed back then that I’ve adapted, changed, or maybe don’t believe anymore.

That’s coaching. You learn, test ideas, gain experience and keep evolving.

Coaches and golfers — what have you changed or adapted in your short-game beliefs over the last 10 years?

Would love to hear what you used to do compared to what you do now 👇

LONG ARC vs SHORT ARC 🏌️‍♂️

A quick lesson recap looking at how different follow-through intentions can help control the golf ball.

🔹 Long Arc — allowing the arms and club to travel longer post through impact— holding wrist angles post impact

🔹 Short Arc — a more compact follow-through, folding the arms - releasing the club sooner

Understanding how to change the shape and length of your follow-through can be a great tool for controlling trajectory, speed and shot shape.

Different shot = different intention. 🎯

CONTROL YOUR FLIGHT ⛳️

Want to control trajectory without forcing your hands through impact?

Using ulnar deviation through the strike, combined with a longer, wider follow-through arc, can be a great way to manage the flight of your golf shots.

The feel:
🏌️‍♂️ Ulnar deviate through impact
↗️ Keep the club moving on a long arc
💪 Maintain width through the follow-through
🎯 Control trajectory and strike without excessive hand action

Rather than trying to “hold” the clubface or manufacture the flight, use the wrist motion + swing arc to influence how the club travels through the ball.

Experiment with different follow-through lengths and trajectories and see how the ball flight responds.

CONTROL THE RADIUS ➡️ CONTROL YOUR LOW POINT ⛳️

One of the biggest factors in controlling where the club hits the ground is managing the radius of your swing.

Think of the swing arc as a circle and the radius as the distance from the centre of that circle to the clubhead.

If that radius changes too much through impact — excessive arm bending, loss of posture, or the body moving away from the ball — your low point becomes less predictable.

A more consistent radius helps you:

⛳️ Control low point
🎯 Strike the ball before the ground
💥 Improve centre contact
📈 Reduce fats and thins

Better golf isn’t always about swinging faster — sometimes it’s simply about making the bottom of your swing more predictable.

Control the radius ➡️ control the low point ➡️ control your strike.

Struggling with a slice? 🏌️‍♂️

The bowler drill is a great way to feel the club working more in-to-out through impact and start turning that slice into a draw. ↗️
